Marcy in the New York Times
September 4th, 2007
What good is having your own blog if you can’t brag about your girl? In a piece about MySpace and the book world in the New York Times Book Review, Pagan Kennedy devoted a paragraph to Marcy and her pioneering use of MySpace to promote Twins. I confess I used to hide the occasional sneer when she was compulsively befriending strangers instead of, say, writing the next book, but we all have our own ways of procrastinating, and hey, it worked for Lily Allen. Authors weren’t dime-a-dozen on MySpace at the time, and making people with her characters’ names into her “top friends” was pretty clever.

I can’t wait until Marcy reads that you called her “your girl.” She is so gonna throw something at you.
